Greatwater Lake Serenity Now

Bad. It had worked out pretty bad last time, although to be fair she had been jumped unexpectedly. She would probably fare a little better if she was the one doing the tackling... probably. She would tell herself that, at least.

The kid gave a cheeky little wiggle, which probably would have provoked a more aggressive wolf. Lane just scoffed and rolled her eyes again. 

He wanted to goose. Okay. And he also wanted to know how to get the goose. Lane had absolutely no idea. But the kid was looking at her like she was some kind of authority on the matter, which was understandable. He was used to adults telling him how to hunt. So was Lane. Actually being the adult who was supposed to know what to do was a new role for Lane. 

"Uh.." Lane cleared her throat. "We.. uh.." The boy threw out a suggestion, and Lane shook her head. "No, um, we.. we sneak," she said, trying to sound authoritative. "Can you be sneaky?" Lane eyed the boy skeptically. As far as she had seen, he was the flesh-and-blood version of a mini tornado.
